Concrete bridge to be set up in Diwaniya

Three local companies have initiated a project to establish a concrete bridge in western Diwaniya city at a cost of over $1.8 million, the governor's assistant for technical affairs said on Wednesday.

"Today, the three companies began work on al-Fatoura Bridge in al-Shanfaniya district (80 km west of Diwayaniya city at a cost of nearly 2.25 billion Iraqi dinars," Engineer Hazem Omran told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI).

Omran noted that the estimated completion period of the project is 11 months, highlighting the significance of the bridge that links al-Tabou area to al-Hamzah district.
